Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

preferring the Old Testament is fine but it's kind of a played-out opinion that ppl love to trot out for whatever reason

not sure why you need to prefer one or the other. i find OT more interesting due to it 1) being more ancient 2) more derived from oral traditions (thus allowing for more interpretations) 3) is in origin the cultural tradition of a marginalized and oppressed people. its crazy how the words have been perverted extracted and idolized completely out of context by a political minority into slogans for anti human legislation. the religious left should step up and challenge the idea that fundies alone should define political and popular religious expression.

the religious left is too full of the milk of human kindness to get into an alley fight with the religious right

Spicer told the Financial Times that Trump is definitely not planning to visit the UK as part of his upcoming Euro trip. The official quote is, "While he looks forward to visiting the UK, it will not be in the next two weeks.” In other words, it's totally happening, so protesters, be ready!

May also claims to know nothing. Be prepared, as Trump won't understand the the two-fingered salute.

A Trump visit is the last thing May needs and has only been speculated because nobody knows what he is doing for four days. It's another case of The Independent chasing clicks.

I wouldn't bet against him turning up at his Scottish golf resort though.

Kilts and mooning are a natural fit.

Nobody knows what the fucker is doing from hour to hour. (Except that he apparently spends 4-6 hours a day watching cable news.) But the "Trump's Razor" theory tells us that we should expect him to make the stupidest possible move at any given time. So if going to England will be the absolute worst thing for everyone involved, and set him up for a massive face-planting in front of the entire world's media, that's exactly what he will do. Get ready!

When yr discussing the Bible with bruneau he has already won, ppl

good weekend to nuke the Hamptons, as often as i've said that before

lmao if first news UK government has of Trump visit is from Aberdeen Airport air traffic control who say air force one is demanding permission to land

So proud to have Tammy Duckworth at our local parade this morning.

Lmao is first news UK gov has of trump visit is a radio message from Airforce one day that Nicola Sturgeon has denied permission to land and asking what 'get tae fook' means.

sturgeon's a manc?

These threads ought to slow their velocity now that it is July 4 and the official Summertime Silly Season has begun. This won't stop Trump and his cohorts from doing stupid things, but it ought to deprive him of half his audience.

We need a statscock for monthly trump threads to see if things are getting bette for worse.

Spending my 4th in meetings all day. #ThanksNorthKorea

Comments on that are wonderful.

Looks like Illinois senate just voted to override asshole gov's budget veto. Assuming it squeaks through the house tomorrow, that makes two troubled states recently sticking it to the stubborn GOP governor's draconian fiscal policy.

NPR has, line by line, been tweeting the full text of the Declaration of Independence today and MAGA people on twitter are going bonkers because they're all dumb as shit and think Trump is being personally attacked.

BTW, down to 1 carrier group in WestPac. Pyongyang is safe for a while.

I noticed that at least one US paper printed a free copy of the constitution as a free giveaway over the weekend. Would think most of the better ones might want to take the opportunity to make sure people had at least seen the thing. Before 45 suspends it or something.

Nowadays most people just read the constitution for the dirty parts.

the We the People and General Welfare stuff was just jokes

Guys did u know sepuratien of church n state is not in Constilution

i am such a strict originalist i don't care about well regulated militias

I can't be bothered to look at what everybody else had to say about Nikki's whining on twitter but suffice to say fuck that lazy cunt what job did you think were signing up for? the rest of the defense department, the state department, and DHS would also like to mention fuck you, and oh did those meetings occur in climate-controlled conference rooms in New York City? because also fuck you, and fuck you.

i agree with all of that, except that it legitimately needs several more fuck you's in it. fuck you nikki haley

My use of the c-word inspired more by regular cathartic reading of UK politics threads than any deep misogyny (I hope)

May I say, kudos for taking down the Confederate Flag over the SC capital, but otherwise, fuck you Haley.

preemptively fp'd you anyway

Btw haley is garbage

I always get weirded out when americans use cunt as an epithet against women. For me its always been either one to use against men, or a more general aussie humour general people thing "hey you cunce" and so on.

I wince whenever I see/hear that word, but I get that in England it means the same thing as jerk or whatever.

Nikki Haley is bad of course. Nearly every Trump appointee is ridiculous.

boohoo, Nikki was gonna bbq

lol, like hell!

plz read one Chaucer and note what "queynte" means.

our British cozzens don't have the PC stick inserted quite as far up their rectums, is all.

Fact I didn't know until I googled the Chaucerian word quoted above: 'quaint' and 'cunt' have the same etymology

It varies widely, unsurprisingly Scottish and Irish (and I assume Northern Irish?) are the same as Australia, elsewhere it's more shocking - in both cases applying it to a woman is a bold stance.

I'd say there's a class element too.

Chaucer is definitely a current writer using modern idiom, though.

Sometimes it means cunt

Scottish and Irish (and I assume Northern Irish?) are the same as Australia,

qft

I mean you know, we cant say it on the telly before the watershed or anything (...or at all? Not sure on that actually) but it can be used as a general term of affectionate abuse.

I'd say that jerk equivalence was pretty accurate, one meaning is despicable person though somewhat more pointedly.
Possibly more so than prick even. Like Cunt seems to be altogether wilful whereas prick might just be reflecting ineptitude.

TIL: While cunt is attested in its current meaning by 1230, Chaucer euphemistically punning with queint “a clever or curious device or ornament”.

You cunt make it up m8

Did most of those choads delete their tweets? Just scanned the NPR feed and its just people going, "Duh, its the Declaration Of Independence!"

cunt is an all-purpose noun in some parts of scotland tbh

a primary school teacher friend of mine had to take one of his pupils aside and tell him that 'cunt' wasn't appropriate language for the classroom and the kid was genuinely taken aback that the word was considered swearing at all
